Use of French, Attitudes and Motivations of French Immersion Students.

Van der Keilen, Marguerite

Canadian Modern Language Review, v51 n2 p287-304 Jan 1995

Compares the degree to which pupils in the French immersion and regular English school programs speak French and initiate contact with French people. Attitudes and motivations were significantly more positive, and social tolerance and self-rated competency in French were much higher in the immersion than in English program subjects.
